Lose Yourself???
from the get go, Lose Yourself To Dance was my favourite song of Random Access Memories. what a bummer this new video shows more clapping than actual dancing. in fact, if Soul Train was an inspiration, why isn't anyone losing their shit with crazy ass dance moves?! considering how much money they've made with this album, doesn't Daft Punk get enough of a budget to go nuts & do something a lot less boring or lazy? at the very least, a bit different from the previous video?! then again, this is what happens when you let artists think they can direct their own videos instead of trusting an accomplished filmmaker do the job... i still love the jackets, but c'mon, they're so last spring already (i.e. Get Lucky). sighhh! Doin' It Right quickly became my other fave; still is. i hope they allow for a far more creative collaboration & get it right if they pick it for their next video!

NEW BEGINNINGS
New York City Ballet presents NEW BEGINNINGS on
September 12, 2013. Filmed at sunrise on the 57th floor of 4WTC in
lower Manhattan, this short film captures an extraordinary and moving
performance of Christopher Wheeldon's After the Rain. It is a testament
to the resilience of the human spirit, and a tribute to the future of
the city that New York City Ballet calls home. #newbeginnings

New York City Ballet on September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001, the New York City Ballet was on a European tour that had taken the company from Edinburgh, Scotland to Athens, Greece and finally to Parma, Italy, where the company was scheduled to perform as part of the Verdi Festival at the Teatro Reggio that evening. As news of the events unfolding at home in New York began to make its way to the dancers of the New York City Ballet, the sense of fear and loss became more and more overwhelming, and Ballet Master in Chief Peter Martins ultimately decided to cancel the evening's performance.
By curtain time, the sold-out audience had arrived at the Teatro Reggio, and stood in silence and mourned with the Company and the rest of the world. Martins addressed the audience from the stage, saying "We came here to dance, it is what we do, but our hearts are breaking and it is simply not possible for us to perform this evening. But we will be back tomorrow, and we will be honored to perform for all of you then."
NYCB did perform at the Teatro Reggio the following evening, September 12th, 2001, and 12 years to the day after, New York City Ballet offers NEW BEGINNINGS, which features an international team of collaborators, including director Davi Russo who was born and raised in New York City, British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, American dancer Maria Kowroski, Danish dancer Ask la Cour, and a ballet set to a score by the Estonian composer Arvo Part, which provides a moving backdrop to a film of profound and powerful beauty.

Andreas Nilsson plays HARD!
work hard, play hard, keep partying like it's your job! woah, that's deep!!! i'm no fan of David Guetta's uber cheesy music for the masses; it's like really bad 90s eurotrash electronica to me & i'm still baffled at how much of a hit that sound is with bros & their hos... but this video is so good, i've been willing to endure this muzak for the mega clubs & tacky stores from Hollywood's Melrose to South Beach's Washington & around the world & back, just to watch it a few times. this is by far the best video Guetta has ever had! ANDREAS NILSSON is absolutely brilliant!!! if the music makes you cringe as well, watch the whole thing anyway because you're gonna love it...

The Place Beyond... To The Wonder
The Place Beyond The Pines has done really well in LA & NY so far. today it hits theaters nationwide; go see it! as for To The Wonder, it's out today as well. this is my favourite blurb about the film: All footage of the performances by Jessica Chastain, Rachel Weisz, Amanda Peet, Barry Pepper and Michael Sheen were removed from the final cut... but what's left is brilliant!
